6:" - rThe Democracy of Pennsylvania, at the
present moment are assailed by their opponents
with unparallelled bitteriiess,—they are charged
with deception—with having betrayed the people
arid secured the passage of a measure which is to
utterly ruin the country, and with having violated
solemn pledges. Let us look at the facts, and we
will see that there is not a shadow of evidence to
to sustain the charge made by our opponents. Mr.
DALLAS, as Vice President,it is true voted, for the
bill, and in so doing acted in opposition to the wish
es of his party in Pennsylvania, but be it remem
bered, his nomination and election, was not made
alone by the Democracy of PennsyKania—and in
• fact, as is well known, the Pennsylvania Delegates
'to the Baltiinore convention were not instructed
for him, but, for Col. R. M. Jousso:r. The Dem
ocratic Senators and Representatives with a sin- I
gle exception manfully opposed and voted against
„McKay's Bill. We now say that: if any promise
or pledge was given by the Democracy of Penn
aylvania, in regard to the tariff, it has been honor
ably redeemed by our Drmocratic Senators and
Representatives in Congress. There is not a man!
in the'riation so stupid as to believe that the De
rimer-as-3, of Pennsylvania ought to -be held respon
sible for the votes of members of Congress repre
senting other constituents—other interests and oth
er states. We say, therefore, that the Democracy
in relation to the tariff, have acted in good faith and
efficiently. But, say our opponents, the Democra
cy of Pennsylvania in 184.4 voted for Pots in pre
ference to Mr. Cter, and by some Democrats it was
asserted that Mr. Polk was a better tariff man than ' l
lifr.Clay." All very true, and we say now that the
tariff of 1846, which has received the sanction of
Mr. "Polk, is a better bill for Pennsylvania than
Clay's compromise art, to the principles of which
he,wos pledged before the contest of 1814, in no
. merents• letters and speeches to adhere if elected,
Clay's-compromise act, as it was called provided
for uniform twenty per cent ad-valor;in duties, the
act of 1816, provides for thirty per cent on iron,
coal, glass, wool and other articles of Pennsylva
iaia growth and manufacture, being just ten per
cent higher than the compromise att which was
framed and supported by Mr. Clay.
The whig,s in 1841 cast their votes for Mr. CLAT
the . authikof the compromise act which provided
for an 'airOalorent duty of twenty per tent on iron,
coal, wool, glass &c., and in 1840 denounce a tar
bill as ruinous which pros-ides for an adealorem
duty of thirty per rent upon the same articles. The
:Democracy of Pennsylvania voted against the com
promise bill—against its author, and against the
tariff of 1846, on the ground that the duty upon
iron, coal, wool, glass, &c., was actually too low
-though in fact ten per cent higher than in Clay's
compromise bill, still are they denounced, vilified
and :misrepresented most basely by party leaders,
proverbial for their disregard of the public will, I
When in power. The very men who now talk about
deception and fraud, in 1840, actually -assured the
laboring men of the country, that if Gen. Harrison
was elected, they should receive "tree dollars a day
and roast beef." They also denied during the same
campaign, that they were in favor of the establish-
Ment of a United States Bank, but denounced Mr.
Trtr.a us a traitor to the whig party, for vetoing
a Bank bill, forced through Congress by Mr. CLA r.
Democrats, remember—drat the whig leaders
who practiced the ,"Iwo dollars a day and roast
b'erf:'jfraud in 3.8-IQ, "are again in the field confident
that they will be able-in October to put down the
cherished .principles of Democracy. Will you
,Permit them to triumph! We knoW you will
not.' :Those entrusted with the duty of, repr, sent
big you 'in Congress have been faithful and effici
ent, -and we know you will not fold your arms and
see them trodden down by the enemies of the lib
nral Principles you so ardently cherish.

have beenpresented by Mr. Emerson, of the Al

News, with a,„number of ancient 'relics disco% ered
by him in his recent explorations on the Outanagon
river, Which are evidently a portion of the effects
carried; there in 1771 by Alexander Henry, the
English agent of a London company .formed for
working the silver minesof Lake Superior." The
articles found consist in pieces of iron and brass !
belonging to a musket stock—nails, apparently
from a smith's bellows, small pieces -of scrap iron,
some sheet copper, and pieces of charcoal. Near
by, was found a block, lying some two feet under
ground, 'which had the appearance of having been ,
used for thefoundation Of an anvil, and over which I

As the array of occupation has commenced its
advance upon the interior of Mexico by pursuing
the Rio Grant% up as high as Camargo, both by
land and water, and as this will be the place where
a permanent depot will be established, and from
which the advancing army will leave the Rio
Grande when it takes up its general march upon
Monterey, it will naturally hold a conspicious
place in the estimation of the American people.—
Camarg,o is situated immediately upon the banks
of the San Juan ricer, three miles from its junc
tion with the Rio Grande. it is a small, rudely
constructed village, wits some few stone buildings,
many built of mud bricks, dried in the sun, some
constructed by driving stakes into the ground and
then plastering them with mud, and others formed
of cane and plastered in like manner. The num
ber of inhabitants will not exceed two thousand,
but as the Mexican government has never thought
her population worthy of enumeration, no posi
tive statement can be made of the population of
any of their tom ns. The late extraordinary rise of
the Rio Grande has caused the San Juan to back,
up and literally inundate Camargo to the great'
damage of houses and other property; also to the
sacrifice of several lives.
Camargo rosy be considered the head of na%i
gation, as abuse here the bed of the ri%er is so fill
ed up with rocks that its navigation higher up has
never been attempted. The road upon leaving
Camargo and crossing the San Juan, becomes
higher and less obstructed by swampy grounds, and
it then becomes au important inquiry what other'
obstacles may present themselves In the distance
between this place and Monterey, which is two'
______ I hundred and ten miles. The road passes through
a level country, thickly set with a small under

a pine tree was growing, measuring ten inches in
diameter, and which on being cut down, showed
itself by the concentric circle to be sixty-one years
of age. The sleepers of a building were also die
covered 'embedded in the earth, and a pile of stone ,
evidently the ruins of a forge. They were discov
ered on What is known as the "Cushman location,"
and within three or four rods of the spot from
which the Eldrid Copper Rock, now in Washing
ton, was taken, and of which rock Henry speaks

CHOPS is W/SCONSIIC—A gentleman writing
from Burlington, Racine, Wisconsin Territory, says
the N. Y. News, gives us the following information
"We are now in the midst of wheat hart est, and
the crop in Wisconsin will be much less than a

nearly ruined the whole; there are many fainters

the animal, but will not vouch for the correctnes:
of the report.

Fifth Ward, on Monday afternoon. Himself and
Sister were gathering chips under the machinery,
when a log fell through killing the boy instar.tly,
the girl was seriously injured, but is expected to

CERTIFICATE OF CIIA A CTER.-A Hoosier VCRS
called upon the stand out West, to testify to the
character of a brother .Hoosier. The testimony
w•as as follows:
How long hare you known Bill Whack?"
"Ever since he was born."
"What is his general character?"
"Letter A, No I—Bove par a great ways,
dge."
“Would you believe him on oath?”
"Yes, sir-cc! on or off, or any other way '1 con
elude."
•What, in your opinion, are his qualifications
as to good character!"
'•He's the best shot on our prairies, or in the
woods. He can shave the eye-winkers off a wolf
as far as a shootin' iron'll carry a ball. He can
drink a quart of grog any day, and chaws toback
er like a hoss."
Siteitre on the Prairics.—One of the most strikin
things is the silence of the prairies. It is abso
g
lutely awful. At night, when the moon has gone
down, and the stars all out, to stand in the centre
of one of these mammoth plains, and mark the deep
unbroken silence that surrounds you, is sublimely
impressive. I never witnessed an effect ' like lit.—
Not a solitary sound can be heard—no intect, no
hint, no heart, no human voice or step—but all is
one spree of grand and fearful -- silence. Such a
spot, far from the haunts of congregated multitudes,
becomes to the good man like the glorious Bethel
Where the journeying patriarch slept.

"Tight Upr—When the fine steamer Missouri
came to our landing last Saturday, says the St.
Louis Reveille, with the Illinois troops, the officers
permitted her to touch only at the bow, along side
of another boat, and hem set eral sentries were sta
tioned, with guns and short swords, to keep the
recruits from going on shore. One poor fellow ob
served on the adjoining boat a brother-in-law and
two cousins, and without hesitation—his kindred
heart bounding with the desire to embrace them—
made a vigorous rush for the side of the boat, but
was instantly thrown back by the guard.
"Well, but look here," says he, 'there is my
brother-in-law, and Sum and Bill Jennings, my
cousins, I'm sartin goin' to speak to 'em - -and
here he streched out his arm towards them.
"Stand back," says the sentry, menacing him
with a short sword, ••stand back," or persuade
with this instrument."
-Well, I ain't- no nigger!" exclaims the volun
teer.
"No, but you're a sogrr," says the guard, "and
he has as much use for relations as a duck has for
three legs; so stand back, will you?'
The enthusiastic volunteer stretched out his
arms desparingly to his relations, and hallooed out.
"Consider your hand shuck, boys, for I can't git to
you—dau drrii 'em, they've got us into sarviee now,
and we're mighty ig let • vp. I tell you!'

certainly could be made, but he did not think it
worth the pain it would cost. Nothing daunted,
however, lie insisted upon the operation. The
doctor tried to persuade him against so foolish a
measure; but no, if one surgeon would not perform
it, another would. He had borne

T HE WILSON PILLS, as a remedy peculiarly
adapted for headaches and dyspeptic affections,
are pretty generally known and esteemed in, this
community; and the proprietor, so often as he has
occasion to write or speak of them, can scarcely te
train from an expression of his grateful, acknowledg
ments to his friends for their patronage and kindness
to him. His feelings are the warmer from observing
the "beginning and the ending"--thrown almost in
juxtaposition --of so many nostrums and kindred pre
parations equally loud in their pretensions, and
much more industriously presented to the public;
while his preparation noiselessly advances ' even to
remote places, soOthing and comforting the afflicted,
and permanently grafting itself upon the affections
of new friends, thus continually widening the circle
of its usefulness. Although well satisfied that his
medicine has, as it were, a principle of perpetuity in
it, yet he is obliged to his friends for the most sub
stantial evidence of the fact.
In' its natural history; if you please, the. Wilson
Pill differs from most other preparations in not being
originally made for sale, or with a view to pecuniary
profit; while as every body knows, the greatest tyro
(as a general thing) no sooner begins to dabble in
drugs than he casts about for some cheap piepara
tion, or must 'get up,' as the phrase is, something-;--
anything that will sell. Often he attempts it ander
an assumed or fictitious name, as though conscious
his own were insufficient to sell it. The difference
then between the Wilson Pill and the preparations I
have just indicated, would appear to be this: The ,
consciousness of the value of,nafpill originated
the idea of putting them on sale for money;:and at a
price. The consciousness of the value of money
originates in Most instances - the many preparations
I have alluded to; and the price most likely 'to take ,
is always first carefully considered, and the pill or
otherpreparation made and graduated to snitit. The
one is a nricorpty, and comes from the. groat Arcane.
of Universal Nature; the other a trick or invention,
and comesfrom a not very popular quality of Had
vrctist. Nature. Reader! the difference here is.
great. In one instance the value attached to the Priy
is the starting point; in the other, the tummy. But
it is not probable that sonic of the -many prepara
tions having even such paternity were accidentally
good, but that possibly by this process of "getting
up" as they call it, by puffing and blowing, as we
clean wheat, they have been "got up" too high be
fore their specific gravity had been carefully 'ascer
tained, and have blown off never to be heard of,
with other chaff—some lighter, some heavier.
Whatever may be the rationale ' I must repeat it,
that I arn - most profoundly thankful to my friends for
their diicrimination in not consigning my discovery to
that compenduous category of "inventions that did
not answer"---of "tricks that wonftwin.."
The Wilson Pills are useful as a ovisitseremedy,
and may be kept and taken, in proper doses, in fam
ilies, as a preventative of general ill health, ordlr.- -
ease of whatever name, by any member of - the fain=
ily, without any fear of the consequences of expo
sure in the ordinary pursuits of business.
!'They may always be had in any quantity of the
proprietor, in Penn street, below kfarhury, and of the
principal Druggists of this city and Allegheny.
